Everytime I hear that song by Lesley Gore I am instantly reminded of Christine gleefully blasting away those nuns. <br />I hope to post a review of it over the next few weeks - any excuse to revisit it.<br />Mendez really delivered with Gravedancers - I too eagerly anticipate his next project - I reckon he&#39;s one to keep an eye on.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-61042647068534719522009-07-28T20:34:04.889+01:002009-07-28T20:34:04.889+01:00I thought The Covenant was a great and very fun fi...I thought The Covenant was a great and very fun film from Mendez; it had some creative ideas and considering the obvious budgetary restraints, the film is pretty well made. I thought the opening with the Barbeau character Nun slaying opening was fantastic, disturbing, yet hysterical. <br /><br />I think Gravedancers was a fantastic follow up with how completely different it was in tone and style to The Covenant. Really shows the skill and filmmaking knack that Mendez has with yet again a pretty low budget. Gravedancers is also proof that there are plenty of great and original horror films to be found out there. I eagerly anticipate anything Mendez does, as he is a true horror filmmaker that loves and respects the genre. He also directed the Boogeymen II horror film documentary &#39;Masters of Horror&#39; for Cinemax or one of those movie channels. <br />Great review for a great film, James!Matt-suzakahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-76976792298782998522009-07-24T11:35:56.753+01:002009-07-24T11:35:56.753+01:00Werewolf: I actually quite liked that image - the ...Werewolf: I actually quite liked that image - the way the demonic creature looms out of the dark evokes all kinds of creepy connotations. And the way it leers over the sleeping/possibly dead woman reminded me a little of Fuseli&#39;s painting The Nightmare. Its a much stronger image than the one used on the DVD cover... which you can see here http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3927544320/tt0435653<br /><br />Mykal: The book should hopefully be published in September. I submitted the last updates (including a section on the new film, Giallo) a couple of weeks ago. I&#39;m just waiting for the editor to typeset it and send it back for more proof-reading fun. <br />Thanks for your support - I really hope you enjoy the book when you get your hands on a copy.<br />Thanks again. :)<br />Best wishes,<br />JamesJameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-63323826757584113962009-07-24T00:24:10.410+01:002009-07-24T00:24:10.410+01:00James: a bit off topic for this post, but just to ...James: a bit off topic for this post, but just to let you know: I have signed up for notification via Amazon here in the USA when your book on Argento is released here in the States. I look forward to it, and will get it the moment it becomes available through Amazon US. I am very eager to read it. -- MykalRadiation Cinema!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519287446656108921.post-4737565176627678922009-07-23T21:36:49.732+01:002009-07-23T21:36:49.732+01:00I really enjoyed this one as well.
